Indeed, these errors and my prompt confessions have made me surer, if possible, of my insight into the implications of truth and ahimsa.

I have no other wish in this world but to find light and joy and peace through Hinduism.

Does not the history of the world show that there would have been no romance in life if there had been no risks?

Man has reason, discrimination and free-will such as it is. The brute has no such thing. It is not a free agent, and knows no distinction between virtue and vice, good and evil. Man, being a free agent, knows these distinctions, and when he follows his higher nature, shows himself far superior to the brute, but when he follows his baser nature can show himself lower than the brute.

Complete independence through truth and non-violence means the independence of every unit, be it the humblest of the nation, without distinction of race, colour or creed.

If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children.

When you practice a life of non-violence you no longer need seek the truth, the truth finds you.
